Anglers should note that the South Lagoon will be closed from mid-day on Saturday 2nd April 2011 opening again at 18.00 on Sunday 3rd April 2011 as the club are allowing a 24 hour cancer charity match to take place. Luton AC are not charging the club involved any fees so that as much money as possible goes to the good cause.
On the adjacent North House Lake Dave Hodgson banked a 27lb 12oz common with Steve Edwards having a 22lb 13oz mirror.
Just before the river season closed Paul Hallybone caught a specimen 6lb chub from the River Great Ouse at Black Cat.
At Beckerings Reservoir Mark Lougher had a 25lb carp and Mark Ridgeway one of 18lb.

The Luton AGM is being held on Thursday 24th March 2011 at 8pm at the Luton Airport Social Club Proctor Way Luton. There is ample free parking and a fully licensed bar. Remember to bring your membership book with you as you will need it to gain entry and to vote on important issues.
The next workparty is scheduled for Sunday 3rd April 2011 at North House Lake and the river.
The Fisheries Management is in great need of spades, shovels, forks, brooms, rakes, digging spoons for posts, post wackers, sledge hammers and wheelbarrows, any tools are gratefully received. This shortage was brought about by the theft of virtually every single piece of equipment the Club owned when the Tingrith container was broken into last autumn. Tools can be collected by calling David on 01582-413035 or bring any tools you have spare to the AGM.
British Waterways have asked for 3 or 4 volunteer members to dig 4 post holes for steel posts for some new signs at Slapton which should be of benefit to anglers. This will qualify for the work party exemption and the club is looking to complete the work on a Saturday morning from 19th March onwards. Volunteers should contact David Edwards on 01582-728114 to discuss availability.
The club is looking for anybody in the Wyboston area that has any brick rubble. Could they leave it on the grass by the car park or contact one of the Bailiffs on the Wyboston Complex to arrange delivery. The rubble is needed by Sunday 3rd April 2011 to help backfill the sleeper retainers in the disabled swims.
